In episode 116 of Tales of Glory, get your permission slips signed because we are going on an M16 road trip to the haunted town of Locke, California. How do you learn to operate and sharpen your gift of spiritual discernment if you are a spiritual warfare minister? What's the difference between a spiritual discernment walkthrough and doing paranormal investigating? What caution and protection do you need to exercise and practice when sharpening your spiritual discernment? Should all Christians do discernment walks in haunted sites? We cover these controversial topics in episode 116 on our Tales of Glory M16 Ministries' road trip!

Tales of Glory episode 104, we are back into the A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare workshop. Diving into chapter 6, Hauntings - Jesus Evicting Demonic Spirits - Part 2, this workshop training will focus on the Christian approach to hauntings and evicting spirits. I will cover some controversial topics in supernatural ministry regarding learning, training, and using the gifts of the Holy Spirit. What do we do when we finally get on site for a haunting? What is a discernment walk, and how do we do it in a home with spiritual activity? What is spiritual discernment, and how does this work? What are defiled objects, and why do ministers need to be aware of them when walking around the location? How should ministers take control of the ministry session to avoid chaos from spirits and clients ignorantly trying to help in ministry? What is involved with blessing a home? And we'll do some listener Q&A! We'll cover these topics in episode 104 of Tales of Glory as we workshop my book, A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare -Chapter 06 - Part DEUX!

Thank
you for tuning in to this episode. I pray you found it beneficial and
informative. Chapter 6 could very well turn out to be a 3 part
episode in this series.
Tales of Glory episode 101, we are back into the A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare workshop. Diving into chapter 4, Mark 9:29, prayer petitioning ministry, more commonly referred to as exorcism. I cover lots of ground today in what Mark 9:29 ministry looks like from my ministry perspective since 2005. What is the difference between Roman Catholic exorcism and Mark 9:29 petitioning prayer ministry? Why use one over the other? What does this ministry look like? Who should be involved in this ministry? Lots of information about battling the supernatural in this episode!!
Mark 9:25-29 This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer.
25 And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.” 26 And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse, so that most of them said, “He is dead.” 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose. 28 And when he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?” 29 And he said to them, “This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer.”
Why Christians ARE not permitted to Ghost Hunt!!!!
22 “You shall therefore keep all my statutes and all my rules and do them, that the land where I am bringing you to live may not vomit you out.23 And
you shall not walk in the customs of the nation that I am driving out
before you, for they did all these things, and therefore I detested
them.24 But I have said to you, ‘You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess, a land flowing with milk and honey.’ I am the Lord your God, who has separated you from the peoples.25 You
shall therefore separate the clean beast from the unclean, and the
unclean bird from the clean. You shall not make yourselves detestable by
beast or by bird or by anything with which the ground crawls, which I
have set apart for you to hold unclean.26 You shall be holy to me, for I the Lord am holy and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be mine.
27 “A man or a woman who is a medium or a necromancer shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones; their blood shall be upon them.”
Note: we don't put necromancers or mediums to death that was old covenant. The key walk-away is that these actions are forever detestable to God. There is no redeeming medium-ship through the grace of Jesus Christ. Christians are not allowed to communicate with the dead.
Ezekiel 1:3. Feeling the presence of God. 6th Mansions intellectual vision.
The Hand of God 3 the word of the Lord came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the Chebar canal, and the hand of the Lord was upon him there.
43 “When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also will it be with this evil generation.”
6 before the silver cord is snapped, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher is shattered at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern, 7 and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. 8 Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher; all is vanity.

I hope you found this episode on Mark 9:29 petitioning prayer ministry to be informative. Thank you for tuning in.
In Tales of Glory Episode 99, we dive into A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare, Chapter 03. What is spiritual authority, and why do we have it? How is the Great Commission tethered to our spiritual authority? We will examine what was unique about Jesus taking authority over unclean spirits in Mark 1. How is spiritual authority in Jesus tied to casting out unclean spirits, healing the sick, and raising the dead? If we have spiritual authority, why do we need the empowerment of the Holy Spirit? How do we use the charismas recorded by Apostle Paul in spiritual warfare? We look at these exciting topics in episode 99 of Tales of Glory!

For unto us, a child is born! What is the reason for the season? Why did Jesus leave his position in heaven to come to earth as man? Did Jesus come to earth as a man merely to fix the original sin, or was there much more? What role did Jesus play as the second Adam? In this episode, we dive into the birth of Jesus and the objective of the work on the cross. It's the Christmas edition of Tales of Glory!
28 “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. 29 Even on the male and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit.
Covers the three falls discussed in this podcast episode.

I hope you enjoyed the Mega Podcast Christmas Extravaganza edition of Tales of Glory. It was a timely fit and conclusion to Demonology 101-104. The series ends with the birth of the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. God Bless and Merry Christmas! Rev. Mike
What does it look like to have Jesus walk us through spiritual warfare ministry? Does modern deliverance ministry teach us to rely on our efforts rather than trusting Jesus? Why does Matthew 25, The Parable of the Ten Virgins, correlate to ministering in spiritual warfare? In the Q&A section, we'll examine how to minister to children. We'll discuss the level of discernment required for determining if a child has a spiritual affliction. We'll also discuss when and where to use the spiritual warfare prayer postures. The Tales of Glory - Demonology 104 Q&A class is now in session.
25 “Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3 For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. 5 As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept. 6 But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ 7 Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.’ 10 And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. 11 Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us.’ 12 But he answered, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ 13 Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.
Were elemental water spirits partnering with Jesus walking on water?
16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, 17 got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. 18 The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing. 19 When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were frightened. 20 But he said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.” 21 Then they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.
1 I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything, 2 but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. 3 In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world. 4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” 7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.
Paul's Concern for the Galatians
8 Formerly, when you did not know God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods. 9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more? 10 You observe days and months and seasons and years! 11 I am afraid I may have labored over you in vain.
Who did the Gerasene demoniac think Jesus was? What did Jesus demonstrate during exorcism that proved to the Second Temple Jews and early Church believers that He was God? What changed in exorcism between the events in the Torah and the Gospels? Were any exorcisms documented in the Torah? Why are the rites of Solomon useless, especially in this dispensation of the end times of the Church? Let's examine the supernatural ministry of Jesus Christ as He demonstrated who He is through miracles, signs, and wonders of expelling unclean spirits. The Tales of Glory - Demonology 103 class is now in session.
Please keep in mind this is not an exhaustive list of the prayers of liberation and exorcisms in the Bible. I used key verses to keep the episode within an hour length (but went over a little...)

Till Next Time
Next time, we'll do a Q&A, so send me your questions in the comment section below or on the Facebook group page - A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare. What are your questions about the material presented in Demonology 101-103?
Ouija boards are defined as divination, which is an abomination to God. Does a Holy Spirit Ouija board redeem this particular means of necromancing? Why are Ouija boards dangerous? What should a Christian do if they opened a portal to spirits with a spirit board? How can Christians be free from their subjugation to witchcraft and necromancing?
9 “When you come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominable practices of those nations. 10 There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer 11 or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead, 12 for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord. And because of these abominations the Lord your God is driving them out before you. 13 You shall be blameless before the Lord your God, 14 for these nations, which you are about to dispossess, listen to fortune-tellers and to diviners. But as for you, the Lord your God has not allowed you to do this.
This was the Discovery Plus Medium I was trying to remember her name. She does spirit writing and drawing. An exorcism with a person coming out of this can take a year to years. Divination is a form of possession. They are possessed by their familiar spirit aka spirit guide.
Welcome to the Tales of Glory podcast page for Episode 48, where the Reverend Mike does a commentary on the Christian Ghost Brothers, Dalen, Juwan, and Marcus. I cover the proper protocol for Christian believers when they find themselves in these dark environments. I am a huge fan of the Ghost Brothers, so this is my appeal to my fellow Christian brothers about our obligation as children of God and what sort of conduct we should have in this position. If God gives you a mantle through the media to tread into darkness, should you be of the world? I cover this topic in an appeal for the Ghost Brothers to be who they are in this show and not be of the world. Now it's time to pop the drunk on some demons and dive into this episode of Tales of Glory.
If you're new to this page and a Christian ghost hunter, this is a video I did sometime back regarding the biblical position on interacting with ghosts. Is Christian Ghost Hunting a Sin?
Thank you for tuning in! I apologize for the audio. I am still on the road and without my recording studio at home. I am still cranking out podcasts on my little 2017 MacBook Air that could. I resolved the choppy mic issue from the last episode. It was an issue with the OBS Studio update, which failed to install correctly. I have that resolved now. But I miss my iMac and Mac Mini M1 back at the studio in the M16 bunker. I know I addressed many controversial things here in this episode that needed to be addressed. If you have questions, leave them here or go to the A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare Facebook page and post comments and questions there. Until next time!!! Be a blessing and make good choices!

Tales of Glory - Episode 47 - Spiritual Warfare for Christians Experiencing Hauntings. In this episode, I address spiritual warfare tactics for Christians experiencing hauntings. I grew up in a generational haunting and finally had victory over it. I know what it's like not to have any lifelines to the church for help in these matters. The truth is that God gave you more spiritual authority than a paranormal investigator can comprehend. So lien on your faith to do the battle. Unfortunately, even Zac Baggans and Jack Osborne are clueless about the truth of the unseen realm. So why go to them? They only collect videos to prove that your house is haunted or has a demonic infestation. They don't know how to help you. If you're a pastor with a congregation member going through a haunting, then it is time you understand what is going on and get educated. The end times church can no longer stick its head in the sand in something we have complete spiritual authority over.
Thank you for tuning in! I apologize for the audio. I am still on the road and without my recording studio at home. The MacBook Air seems to have dynamic mic settings. I need to go figure that out. The audio was annoyingly choppy from that issue. I am working to resolve that! There is still lots of good information packed in this episode. If you have questions, leave them here or go to the A Field Guide to Spiritual Warfare Facebook page and post comments and questions there. Until next time!!! Be a blessing and make good choices!

Tales of Glory - Episode 46 - Prayer Life of the Spiritual Warrior. In this episode, I address something very dear that has been weighing on my heart. What does your identity and relationship with Jesus Christ need to look like to endure dark demonic battles? Here I share my thoughts and experiences from my personal prayer life that got me through some dark assignments against me. These demonic assignments took out some of my mentors and others I mentored. Sadly, these folks that were friends of mine are no longer in ministry anymore. So what was pivotal in these battles, and how did I endure? That's the subject of this episode of Tales of Glory - "Prayer Life of the Spiritual Warrior."
As we discuss the subject of Christian Mystical Theology, I must exclude the topics of centering prayer, and any teachings from Thomas Keating as these are Zen Buddist practices and in no way are compatible with contemplative prayer practices and theology. Practicing the presence of God, is still the mind and in filling with the Holy Spirit. Where Zen Buddism is purging ones self. One is of Jesus and the other is demonic.
Thank you for tuning into Episode 46! I hope you found this subject matter beneficial. There is a lot of material to cover with the Interior Castle. In previous podcasts on the mansions in the Interior Castle, I have covered quite a bit of Saint Teresa's material. So feel free to go back and check those out. The Interior Castle is the best Christian material I know that is out there on developing a prayer life, and there is a reason the book is a classic. It has stood the test of time. I am still working off my ol' 1.8Ghz dual-core Macbook Air. So it doesn't have my iMac's quality at home for producing these episodes. But for the time being, it works. God Bless and Enjoy!
Tales of Glory - Episode 44 - Fireside Chat - "Can Christians be Psychic Mediums?" What is a psychic medium? Is this a gift from God? What is the difference between mediumship and spiritual discernment? Can one redeem their gift as a medium? We dive into the Old Testament for the answers! In this episode, I respond to a Christian psychic medium asking my response on this subject matter. Lot's of good information here. So pull up your favorite easy chair to the fireplace. It's time for another spiritual fireside chat!
Deuteronomy 18:9-14 lays out the rules for Levites and Priests. Deuteronomy 18:9-17 outlines to the priests the practices that are abominable to the Lord.
Abominable Practices
9 “When you come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominable practices of those nations. 10 There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer 11 or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead, 12 for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord. And because of these abominations the Lord your God is driving them out before you. 13 You shall be blameless before the Lord your God, 14 for these nations, which you are about to dispossess, listen to fortune-tellers and to diviners. But as for you, the Lord your God has not allowed you to do this.
